At ESS, our unyielding passion is to make the toughest eyewear in the world. Not because it’s our job, but because it’s our duty. A duty inspired by those we serve: military personnel, first responders, and other everyday heroes. Those who rely on ESS can’t settle for less, so we can’t either.  We provide go-to styling and superior fit, form, and function so our tough customers can stay safe and be brave: on or off duty, beyond risk and toward adventure. 

ESS innovation is born from intense listening to elite warriors.  We dissect their challenges, then roll up our sleeves to create real-life solutions that will work under duress. As a result, ESS ballistic-grade eyewear provides peak performance that’s hard at work today in the most hostile environments.  The entire line of battle-proven ESS eye pro is engineered to meet or exceed the most stringent U.S. Military and ANSI Z87.1-2010 Specifications.  

ESS is the sole authorized issuer of eyewear to the United States Marine Corp, is a leading or sole authorized supplier to each of the other branches of the U.S. Department of Defense, and is trusted by military personnel and other protectors at service in more than 100 nations.  We proudly stand behind every product that comes from our ISO 9001:2008 certified U.S. factory with our unparalleled product sustainment programs and our industry-leading customer service.

ESS: Built for Battle. Tough for Life.
